On average, vehicle owners should replace their brakes every 50,000 miles. Depending on the vehicle and its wear and tear, they may need replacing sooner. Your car’s manual provides a good source of information for when to consider brake repair or servicing. There are other indicators that breaks may be in need of repair or replacement.
When brakes have worn down, they usually make a metallic, scratching noise. This screeching noise is unmistakable. Faulty brakes may also feel jittery due to warping. There are some brake treatments that grind or clean brake surfaces to remedy this problem. You can also check the ground near your brake wheels for liquid. People sometimes mistake leaky brake fluid for oil.
Any unusual noise, or spark, coming from brake areas may need inspecting by a qualified technician. The fact remains that functional and effective brakes are essential to safe braking and general vehicle safety.
